NBA 2K17 Scan Your Face Tips:

1 – Use rear camera for perfect scan when indoors

If you cannot get outside to scan your face via smartphone in natural light settings then look for the well-lit and evenly illuminated area indoors. Scan using device’s rear-facing camera.

Best way to do this is to stand in front of the mirror and use the rear-facing camera. I had a pretty decent scan using this method in front of my washroom mirror.

2 – If Possible, its best that you scan outdoors

Developers advise that you scan your face in natural light settings outdoors to get the best result, if possible. Previously you had to use Xbox Kinect or PS4 camera to scan your face but now it has become a whole lot more easier with smartphone cameras. Use mobile camera in even natural light setting when scanning your face.

3 – Look at the ‘Scan Your Face’ message

If you are using the front-facing camera then stare directly at the ‘Scan Your Face’ message and keep looking at it even when turning your head during the scanning. For rear-facing camera, stare at the camera lens on the far right, the place the flashed when you take pictures with mobile camera. This will help you to keep your eyes in the center when you turn your head from one side to another.
